Nominations Requested for NPRE Distinguished Alumni Award

Since 2008 NPRE has been spreading the word about the outstanding contributions of our graduates by presenting the NPRE Distinguished Alumni Awards. Again this year we will be pleased to make these presentations.

We encourage you to consider NPRE alumni whom you know, and submit nominations for those you consider to be particularly deserving of recognition. For your convenience we have created an online form for this purpose: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/8979331. Submissions for the 2011 award(s) must be made by June 30. The award(s) will be presented September 30, 2011. For further information contact Susan Mumm at s-mummatillinois [dot] edu.

Award Criteria:
The NPRE Distinguished Alumni Awards are presented by the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at Illinois and by the NPRE Constituent Alumni and Industry Advisory Board to NPRE alumni who make notable advances in the field of nuclear science, and/or lasting contributions to society in general. Through their careers and voluntary service, these individuals bring honor upon themselves as well as to their fellow graduates, the Department, the College of Engineering, and the University of Illinois.
